[QUOTE="Vapiano, post: 230211, member: 9597"] Very impressive shots! I am no where near this type of IQ and at the moment can't see getting to this level. What started as a need for a lens seems to be more my technique than anything. Very frustrating. From my window to the bird feeder is exactly 13' away, I typically zoom in around 175-200mm most times, Aperture Priority, WB: Auto, ISO: Auto - max set to 800, minimum shutter speed: 1/800. I shot a few today with the same results. The IQ is just not there and it's sunny today. Great shots! I posted this as an example to show that I needed more lens to really get "that shot!" The hawk was at least 75-100 yards away and it was snowing. I am here to learn and to become a better photographer, no offense taken. Shot after shot with the same results, I need to change what I am doing. It would be great to blame the camera, but I think it's my technique. I took better pics with the D5100 using the kit lens.
